welcome to the ericamay blog!

Hi! I'm Erica May Short, and I'm so excited that you're visiting my photography blog. This blog will show you all of my current work with a few fun personal things mixed in to help you get to know me better. I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Kansas City, and I love my job. I am so blessed to be a part of so many love stories. My photography style is a fun and relaxed documentary style, and I focus more on emotions than posed stuff. :) Besides photography, I love my husband (Jeff), our miniature schnauzer (Petey), and the color green. You can visit my main portfolio website at www.ericamay.com!

The Shorts and Beatys take on Silver Dollar City!

Last weekend we went to Silver Dollar City with our friends Jon and Emily from Beaty Photography. I hadn’t been there since I was about 8 years old, and I have to admit that I expected it to not be as fun as it was. :) Despite the freezing temperatures, we had an awesome time and the entire place was covered in Christmas lights, which I love! It really helped put me in a holiday mood!

These shots are just for fun — photos I snapped during our time at Silver Dollar City!

This one is for my photography nerds… :) This image was shot basically in the dark, at an ISO of 25,600! Shot with the Nikon D700, 50mm lens at 1.4, 1/320th sec.

Jon and Jeff rode some rides that looked way too scary for me! :) Here they are… they’re over on the left, and you can see Jon’s hands up in the air:

What a fun time! :) I have to say… if you want something fun and Christmas-y and are anywhere close to Branson, Silver Dollar City was a really great time! :)
